Before you start the app, but after you get the shell prompt
on the remote system, what does 'echo $DISPLAY' output?
On your client system, is 'ForwardX11 yes' in your ssh_config
file? On the server side, in the sshd_config file, do you
have something like this setup?
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes
Is the DISPLAY variable set to something like "localhost:0.0"
on the client side before you invoke ssh?
Have you tried something like 'ssh -2 -X -C logname@(protected)'?
